Robert went to the ER to find Carter. Frank told him that Carter was in the lounge. When Robert walked in her heard the end of the conversation.

"You really don't know what you saw." Abby said "Drop it it's none of your business"

"It concerns me, Alice is developing a real thing for him, unfortunately." Carter said

"See seems like someone that can take care of herself. Don't go there John." Abby said and turned to see Romano standing in the lounge. She muttered something about a patient and left. John and Robert just stood looking at one another. "It's not what you think," Romano said.

"You don't know what I think," John said hardly able to disguise the anger and disgust in his voice.

"I don't owe you and explantion."Romano said

"Then why are you down here?"

Romano didn't reply and walked out of the room. He didn't owe Carter any explanation, why had he come to the ER then? He had been afraid that Carter would tell Alice what he had seen and what – Robert actually realized that the idea of Alice being hurt or angry concerned him. This was new. He went back to his office and called Alice at work.



"I see you found me," Alice said looking up from the chair she was sitting. The butler at the main house had directed Robert to the cabin, their cabin. " I've decided to see if I can make this place livable. It's free and well it had pleasant memories."She said and touched his hand. He sat in the chair opposite her.

"I have to talk to you"

"I was not thinking about talking, when Albert said you were coming here." She smiled again at him

"You need to know something about me. I haven't been compeletly honest with you."

"About what? Oh no you're not gay?" She laughed

"I'm serious" the look on his face made her stop and focus on him.

"What?" she was feeling very uneasy and wondered if John had been right about Robert. John had told her weeks ago he didn't trust him and that it was a mistake to get in involved with him given his treatment of females at the hospital.

"I was married once. I don't share that with anyone,but today I have had to think of Gina twice. I don't know if it is important for you know this, but it is important for me to tell you.
